Hi Bob, There's really no comparison. While Speakup provides excellent access to console-based applications and the Linux OS itself, it doesn't handle any graphical user interfaces. Spoken Interface is designed for the Apple OS X GUI. I wonder if it is even going to do anything if the user opens a window to the shell available in OS X... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Dodd" <Bob.Dodd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2004 3:45 AM Subject: Spoken interface for Mac OS X > Apple have just launched a spoken interface for Mac OS X.
